So far it looks like I can do 6 tile lengths a day. The water line appears to be looking pretty straight so far so I won't have to cut the tiles along the whole length at the end which is not easy. I think just a bit of retape and paint perhaps. Time will tellIMG_7143.thumb.jpeg.692e816e25100b9d92a239b9b5a3c7b5.jpegIMG_7145.thumb.jpeg.5502862becf9e3d6176e585741827d3e.jpegIMG_7146.thumb.jpeg.5a4a4c6e4c4c69758293ee5e6b1a68c5.jpegIMG_7144.thumb.jpeg.9dafb87665cd0f5952a27e342ffaaa65.jpegIMG_7147.thumb.jpeg.f734d92747e0ea1c3846bbf4c6e2c703.jpeg

Finally done. I gave 3 coats of poly, taped the edges, poly'd the tape edge, repainted the black wale then re-coated with poly. Next is the rudder which will take at least a day to do given the coppering then fixing it in place. It is a  shame that Chris could not get the single copper piece for the rudder, would have life much easier.

Thanks all. I am definitely a few months behind Kevin when it comes to masting, especially as those ship boats take some time and I tend to do them before the masts. Iphone 12 has a great camera.

i will avoid the boat building as long as possible

It took a few days but all the deadeyes and chains in. Used the string method from the mast to get the angles correct.IMG_7270.thumb.jpeg.5e5def8a137d6b67d24b480c118fce6b.jpeg

Next will be taking care of the deck pieces to complete the hull. Will leave anchors to the end and will also add the stunsail booms.
